Description

Music by Mark Cooksey

Comments from Mark Cooksey:
"Without doubt the game which is most closely associated with me. The highscore tune is a copy from the original arcade machine. However, having listened to the in gmae tune which was a complicated harpsichord tune using lots of channels, I decided to compose my own ghostly tune. Again the tune is not completely original using elements from several sources including Chopin and other bizarre sources (my mom's old organ vinyl records from the 70's). I'm still mystified about why I went for that strange percussion but it seems to work somehow..."

Description from Mobygames:
Ghosts 'N Goblins is a sideways scrolling action platformer spread over six levels, each of which must be completed within three minutes (or a life is lost), taking in forest, village, mountain and cavern settings with increasing difficulty.

Arthur the brave knight must rescue his beloved Princess from the Demon King Astaroth and his forces - amongst them are the various undead (ghosts, zombies), bats, ogres and goblins. Other challenges include moving platforms, ladders and water/fire hazards.

The player can walk left and right, jump, and is also equipped with a lance to use as a weapon. Getting hit by enemies causes Arthur to lose his armor and run around in his underpants, getting hit again will cause the player to lose a life. As in most games in this genre, the player can pick up power-ups such as daggers and bombs during the course of the game, giving the player greater firepower.

Man, this in-game theme is really something else! It sounds strangely spooky, kind of in a Halloween-ish way. I'm not sure whether I like the arcade GnG music or this one better, but they're both pretty great! 😁
